Dickleburgh Village History Group Come and find out about the village

The historic settlement of Dickleburgh grew along what was the Pye Roman Road and later became the Norwich to Ipswich turnpike. This accounts for the straightness of Ipswich Road and The Street, and the prevailing historic linear settlement pattern

Since the construction of the bypass in the 1990s the overall character of the village has changed with significant expansion to the east, and this is where the School and the Village Centre (Hall) are now located. The most imposing building in the village remains the All Saints Medieval Church and it stands out as a striking landmark.

At the Reading Rooms you can find out more about the historic grouping of relatively humble cottages and smaller houses, shops in the village, about the people who lived here, what they did for a living.

Accessibility details

There are steps up into the Reading Room so not easy access. We have in the past been able to accommodate wheelchair visitors. We are hoping to get a grant to make the Reading Room accessible to all. Parking is along side the Reading Room or behind the School Rooms adjacent to the church.

Additional information

We also have a self guided tour around the village building on request.
